Frank Rowand 24789c5ce5 of: overlay: detect cases where device tree may become corrupt
When an attempt to apply an overlay changeset fails, an effort
is made to revert any partial application of the changeset.
When an attempt to remove an overlay changeset fails, an effort
is made to re-apply any partial reversion of the changeset.

The existing code does not check for failure to recover a failed
overlay changeset application or overlay changeset revert.

Add the missing checks and flag the devicetree as corrupt if the
state of the devicetree can not be determined.

Improve and expand the returned errors to more fully reflect the
result of the effort to undo the partial effects of a failed attempt
to apply or remove an overlay changeset.

If the device tree might be corrupt, do not allow further attempts
to apply or remove an overlay changeset.

When creating an overlay changeset from an overlay device tree,
add some additional warnings if the state of the overlay device
tree is not as expected.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
